Easter 2013

Happy Easter!!  Look at this cute family!!  I love these people.  I can't believe that they are all getting so big.  This is probably a good time to just recap what is going on with each of the kids.

Caleb - Caleb is almost done with 7th grade at Highland Jr High.  He is loving it there and is doing pretty well.  He plays clarinet in the band and is getting pretty good.  He has grown about 6 inches in the last year.  He is now taller than me which makes him about 5'8".  He wears a size 11 1/2 shoe.  I can just about watch him growing everyday.  His voice is deep and he is just becoming so grown up.  He had to get glasses a few months ago.  Those make him look really grown up.  He has started playing volleyball.  Which I love!!  He really wants to get a scholarship to college for volleyball.  He is a sweet boy with a tender heart.  He wants to do the right thing and he loves scouts, cars, legos and star wars.  He is such a mini Jared, it is almost scary! :)

Gavin - Gavin is almost done with 2nd grade and is a really good student.  He loves school and learning and his teacher.  He loves to read and is very smart.  He thinks outside the box.  He is still taking piano lessons and has really improved this year in it.  He loves to play chess, checkers, and any computer games.  He is a sweet boy that loves to show love.  He loves to learn about the gospel and I often find him reading his scriptures or his Faith in God book figuring out what he needs to do to advance.

Sabrina - Sabrina is almost done with 1st grade.  She loves to talk and is a great storyteller.  She can tell you every detail of what went on in her day.  She loves to learn and play with friends.  She loves riding her bike or scooter and doing dance and tumbling.  Many times a week, she will randomly come up to me and tell me I am the best mother and that she loves me.  Her crooked smile brings a smile to my face and she just loves to be involved in everything.

Jared - Jared is currently working 3 1/2 jobs.  Poor guy.  That really makes me sound like a slave driver.  But, he has his full time job with Bank of America, then teaches part time at Mesa Community College and has a freelance job on the side.  We also kind of started doing photography.  He is still in the bishopric (4 1/2 years) and enjoys it.  He doesn't get to go hiking as often as he would like, but when he does, he loves it.  Caleb is his hiking partner.  He still tries to sing in a choir somewhere and it works about half the year.

I am just trying to run the house and keep up with everyone else!
